Unsurprisingly, New York Jets broad receiver Mike Williams would not appear prepared to face as much as quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
After Monday’s 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Payments, Rodgers seemingly scapegoated Williams when he mentioned he ran the fallacious route on a game-sealing interception. Nevertheless, it appeared like Rodgers underthrew the ball on the play.
On Friday, Williams instructed ESPN’s Wealthy Cimini that he and Rodgers had a gathering following Monday’s loss, and he wasn’t upset the quarterback referred to as him out.
“I simply need to be on the pink line,” Williams mentioned, smiling. This remark most likely refers to how Rodgers claimed Williams pale to the sideline an excessive amount of on his vertical route.
Maybe Williams is making an attempt to regain Rodgers’ belief. On Tuesday, the Jets acquired WR Davante Adams — who performed with Rodgers in Inexperienced Bay from 2014-21 — in a commerce with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Adams’ arrival may end in fewer targets for Williams, who solely has 10 catches for 145 yards in six video games. He would be the workforce’s WR4 behind Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard.
In consequence, he may very well be a reputation to look at earlier than the Nov. 5 commerce deadline. On Thursday, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini tweeted that the Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the many groups which have proven curiosity in Williams.
Williams indicated he needs to remain in New York.
“I am the place my toes at,” he mentioned. “That is the primary factor for me. I got here right here for a purpose. I am right here. I am excited for this weekend … and to play Sunday [against the Pittsburgh Steelers].”
To stick with the group, Williams should get together with Rodgers. Which may be why he isn’t saying he is upset the QB referred to as him out.
